The White House calls for decorum and respect, at the same time that Trump calls people stupid, rude, and phony. Then he tweets this:

Seriously? I am at a loss for words about how vulgar and small this toad is, so I will just leave this here – a poem (below on the left) written in 1872 by Emmett Lee Dickinson (Emily Dickinson’s third cousin, twice removed –at her request). It very aptly epitomizes Trump, the little toad in the Office and a stain on the presidency and on our history. Dickinson's poem inspired third cousin Emily to pen her poem "A little Dog that wags his tail" (below on the right).

By Emmett Lee Dickinson:

A little Toad that croaks his spiteAnd knows no other joysOh such a little Toad is heDelighted by his Noise

He wallows all the living DayWithout an earthly causeBecause he is a little ToadDishonest once exposed –

The Toad that in the Office dwellsOn history he’s a stainA Louse with all Tradition nowHe’s derisive and profane

He has no class apparentHe’s just a vulgar fraudWho only makes a “lot of noise”Impeach this little Toad –

By Emily Dickinson:

A little Dog that wags his tailAnd knows no other joyOf such a little Dog am IReminded by a Boy

Who gambols all the living DayWithout an earthly causeBecause he is a little BoyI honestly suppose –

The Cat that in the Corner dwellsHer martial Day forgotThe Mouse but a Tradition nowOf her desireless Lot

Another class remind meWho neither please nor playBut not to make a "bit of noise"Beseech each little Boy –

Below: The aptly named "Trump Toad" in his natural habitat, a swamp in Washington, DC.

Donald Trump cannot tell the truth. Literally, the man is incapable of telling the truth.

In May 2017, we wrote about Trump's biggest lie to date (HERE), and in June 2017, we wrote about the need for multiple Trump "Presidential" Lie-braries (﻿HERE﻿).

Recently we even rated Trump's Top Ten Lies (HERE). However, after we made that list, we remembered other equally significant lies.

After some events from the past week, it dawned on us that even our augmented list of Top Ten lies did not include a HUGE whopper of Trump's -- the one in which he claimed he would "drain the swamp." Nothing could be further from the truth. In reality, Trump has ascended to a malodorous throne as Swamp King. The swamp has never been swampier. The swamp has never been filled with such a putrid swarm of swamp critters. The swamp has never been more foul.

Trump's swampy swampland that is swampier than the swampiest swamp of swampiness called to mind a couple of prophetic lines by Emmett Lee Dickinson, "With him who has a Callous heart / The swamp will stink in Ruin," (below on the left). Dickinson's cotemplation inspired third cousin Emily to pen her lines that begin "To him who keeps an Orchis' heart" (below on the right).

It's rather incredible that so many gullible people bagged what Trump was raking!

"Drain the swamp," he'd snarl at his rallies, and his wide-eyed crowds would bellow and clap and chant. Little did they know that beneath the mask and ocherous make-up was the Swamp King himself!​

Kellyanne Conway reported that Trump loved it when his rally crowds would howl. "He found it too easy to dupe these people," she said on Fox News.

"He'd hand them these business cards that read 'How do you keep a moron in suspense? (Turn card over)' and the same message was printed on the opposite side," she said. "He'd laugh like a rascal," she snorted, "when he'd see them flipping those cards over like little propellers."

​Now that the election is over, though, "Drain the Swamp" has morphed into "Stock the Swamp," and Trump has begun filling the swamp with some of the slimiest, grimiest swamp monsters we've ever encountered.

@Mashable reported on many of the these swamp creatures and rated them on three scales: Goldman Sachiness, Putin Power, and KKK Approval Rating. Read all about Trump's cabinet of critters HERE. ​

Of course Trump's moves to fill the swamp reminded us of Emmett Lee Dickinson's now-classic poem "Deep in the swamp with its secrets" (below on the left). His poem inspired third cousin Emily to pen her poem "Sweet is the swamp with its secrets" (below on the right).

By Emmett Lee Dickinson:

Deep in the swamp with its secretsIt's there we met a snake'Tis now we sigh for recountsAnd wish this news was fake.
